DONE!

The wreath is done!! I love it! It was really easy to do once I figured out how little it was suppose to be. The only sticking point was getting enough buttons. I had bought them at Hobby Lobby but they didn't have anymore to complete it. I then bought buttons at every other craft and fabric store in the area but didn't think they were quite right. Finally, I decided to just go with what I had and here are the results...

I think it is perfectly imperfect! I'm not sure it is even round!



I couldn't decide between the blue and white gingham or a plain cream ribbon. What do you think?

It doesn't have a home yet. I think it might be a kitchen window but it will need a twin. Oh no...that means more buttons! I don't know if the marriage can take another button quest! :) I guess I should start collecting them like Wendy! Then there would be more button crisis!

I love the way the light comes through the more translucent buttons.

This may be my favorite spot! Remember...the whole color scene of the kitchen is going to be centered around the lovely mixer!

Thanks again to Wendy for the inspiration!

Did you notice I included a photo with that ugly wallpaper again? That was on purpose! More on that to come....

Wreath in Progress

Wendy at the Shabby Nest did an AWESOME button wreath tutorial. When I saw it, I knew I had to make it...TODAY! So it was off to Hobby Lobby in the pursuit of buttons. Unlike Wendy that collects vintage buttons, the only extras I have around the house have fallen off a shirt and I have decided not to put them back on.
Wendy put in her post that it took 80 buttons and I thought she must be crazy! :) I bought the only bulk buttons I could find and hoped it would be enough. Well...it's not enough and it does take 80 buttons! This is about 40. I have to work on Friday so the project will have to wait until the weekend. How sad :(


Have a good weekend!
